We are still shooting for the end of July but it could be about 10 days later. Will fill you in when the vehicles actually ship from the factory as we know a lot more of firm dates when that occurs. When goods ship from China it takes them about 20 days to reach us.

Here are some more pics.

Jig I'm sure the suspension is going to be the same as the backdraft 3.5 if so the elec version is going to be sweet!! I took some pics of the backdraft I took from the shop to play with this weekend. The front Hub Carriers are SWEET!!! They are billet aluminum and don't look like they will ever break, The tie rod is between the carriers so it is supported in two spots. The suspension works nice and smooth with no binding at all. Now I know why that elec buggy in the video was taking a beating, The car was BUILT TO TAKE A BEATING!!!! Redcat has some really nice cars coming out.

Not sure on the elec, But the backdaft 3.5 is phillips though but it has nice countersunk motor screws with washers like a Serpant on road car. The Backdraft is a really nice car. It Looks impressive when you see it in person.
